Europe Compound Feed Market

Increasing demand for meat and aquaculture products is boosting the growth of the European Compound feed market. Meat consumption is increasing across the region due to increased urbanization, disposable incomes, and health concerns. According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development report, demographics, incomes, religious beliefs, and health concerns increase meat consumption. Meat consumption is projected to increase by 0.4% in Europe, which demands the consumption of compound feed for the animals. According to the European Feed Manufacturers Federation, farm animals consumed an estimated 701 million tons of feed in 2021, of which compound feed manufacturers produced 22%. Pigs occupied the most significant compound feed, followed by poultry, cattle, and other categories. Poland is the largest chicken producer, accounting for 20% of European chicken production. The highest meat consumption is expected from Germany, France, Spain, and the UK due to changing diet patterns and economic growth.  

Growing investments by key players and government initiatives are enhancing the European compound feed market growth. The feed industry receives investments from various sources for the animals' balanced nutrition, which are crucial protein supplements for people. People are becoming aware of the health concerns and adding high-protein food to their diet. These reasons are boosting the European compound feed market. Governments of many countries are taking initiatives for the healthy growth of animals to avoid the diseases caused by meat consumption. The demand for seafood is increasing due to the health benefits produced by fish consumption. The need for animal proteins increases the demand for compound feed, influencing Europe's market growth. Most of the raw materials used in compound feed are soybean, wheat, corn, barley, and sorghum sourced from plants or animals. 

European government regulations, such as the ban on antibiotic growth promoters, are influencing livestock producers to identify new healthy ways for healthy animal growth, which is expected to create opportunities for market expansion. The increasing demand for organic food is influencing the producers to feed animals with organic feed.  

he Russia-Ukraine war greatly impacted the Europe compound feed market in 2022, where the feed market fell by 35%. Another hampering factor is animal diseases. According to Alltech's report, 80% of the countries had observed a decline in feed production. Avian Influenza has highly affected European countries like Poland, France, Russia, and the UK. African swine fever and swine flu significantly affected some European countries. The European Feed Manufacturers Federation states that the decrease in European Compound Feed Production in 2022 will be due to animal diseases. Many large compound feed producers have decreased feed production due to supply chain disruptions and the spread of animal diseases, where only a few European countries balanced the sales compared to last year.  

The increasing production and maintenance cost is a significant challenge to the market's growth. The increasing government regulations and restrictions on livestock production are expected to hinder European meat production, which in turn influences the compound feed market's expansion.

COVID-19 had a high impact on European countries, such as Italy and Spain, which affected the economic status of the European region. The compound feed market also experienced a decline in sales due to the closure of restaurants and food places. The supply chain disruption to European countries is due to government orders to partially close imports and exports from international ports. Lamb production and aquaculture are highly affected by the COVID-19 impact. The decline in fish and meat consumption had a high impact on the compound feed market. Meanwhile, post-pandemic had observed a steady increase in sales to increased meat consumption among people for protein intake.
